The Manchester United and Liverpool legends have traded verbal blows on a number of occasions in the past and have taken to Twitter to have a pop at each other over Carragher's inclusion in the Liverpool squad for the post-season tour to Australia.

Carragher has been out of the game since 2013 and has criticised the Liverpool defence for some poor displays in recent times, but will now get the chance to play alongside them.

But his inclusion in Jurgen Klopp's squad for the game against Sydney FC this week has given his famous rival the perfect ammunition to put Carragher down.

Neville started the humorous battle when he wrote on Twitter: 'Wow @Carra23 in the Liverpool squad. Gonna be awkward for you playing in that defence you've been slagging off all year!'

Carragher could not resist a dig back and obviously had something on his mind from events which took place post-match at Stamford Bridge following Chelsea's title party.

Carragher responded to Neville by saying: 'Can't be as awkward as you speaking to Conte yesterday about management!'

The Liverpool legend has always made a joke of Neville's infamous spell when he was head coach of Valencia and was obviously making a referral to his time in Spain once again when he was questioning Conte about his management style at Chelsea.
